Four months old!

Four months old! It's going by so fast- I cannot believe she's 1/3 of the way to a year old. I get a little sentimental when I think that the cuddly, sweet baby phase is pretty much over. She's still sweet, but just not as cuddly. She's moving, kicking her legs, trying to roll- not a still, tiny baby anymore. 

She's finally becoming more smiley and more expressive. This photo shoot was quite a bit easier trying to get her to smile! :) Yay!

We have some unfortunate hair going on- parts of the back and side of her hair are falling out and she's got this mullet of sorts on the top. What do we do? Put a bow around her head. :) 

This is not chocolate. 

This is poop that was left behind after sitting in the Bumbo chair and doing a little grunting.

 "I can neither confirm nor deny that I left that poop squirt"

 This month, she learned how to roll from her back to her tummy! She's only done it 2 times, but it counts, right? Around 2 months old, she rolled quite a bit from tummy to back, but hasn't done it much since. She does like to roll on her sides...I'm sure the next month will hold more rolling.

Lucy loves to sit next to and "hold" Annie. She automatically thinks that if she asks to hold Annie in the chair, Mommy will go and get her phone and take pictures. 

She's actually quite right. They are so sweet together!

 I love this one!!

 Be still, my heart! I love my girls!

More on the past month:

- she got a cold right around 3.5 months and was up 2-3 times a night for about a week. Not cool when you add in that Lucy was also going through some sort of mental growth spurt or something and was kind of crazy, not napping, also getting up 1-2 times a night. Needless to say, I was VERY tired for about two weeks.

- Her right eye tear duct is still blocked, so with the cold came lots of goopy eye drainage (and is still continuing to drain). I've already had to get a refill on our Tobramycin eye drops! 

- Sleeping: once she got over her cold, she went back to waking up once a night again. I'm ready for the sleeping-through-the-night to come back (she did this for about two weeks when she was two months old). She goes to bed between 7:30-8:00 pm and wakes up around 7:00 am for the day. 

Naps:- she takes about 3-4 naps a day, usually an hour in length. I'm able to put her down in her bassinet (still using the Fisher Price Rock and Play to sleep in) awake with her paci and blanket and she will usually fall asleep on her own.  Most days, I'm able to have them both down at the same time napping for about an hour or so. SANITY. 

- Eating: she's exclusively nursing, usually eating every 2-3 hours during the day. 

- Motor skills: she's recently started to reach for the toys hanging on her bouncy seat. She's also started to hold onto a single toy when laying on her back. Today, I had a little mirror for her to look into that propped up next to her while she was doing tummy time and she thought that was so much fun!

- Personality: I really think she's going to be a laid-back girl. She's rarely fussy or crying. She usually blows raspberries as her cry when she's upset. She pretty much goes with the flow. 

- Miscellaneous- she has started to kind of laugh/chuckle when you act silly/ play peek-a-boo with her. She's also become a lot more expressive and acts engaged. 

- Sizes: we are wearing size 1 diapers and size 3 month clothing, although I just got a box of size 2 diapers  to be used soon and I'm thinking we will need to switch out her 3 month clothes for 6 month clothes pretty quickly (especially her jammies). 

We go later this week for her check-up, so I'll edit the post once I get her height/weight. My guess is that she's about 13 pounds. She's not quite a chunky as she was a month ago- she's been more active this month, with kicking her legs, rolling, so I think she's burned more calories and slimmed up a tad.
